I heard somewhere this week that reduced male fertility should give us a human free planet in 10,000 years or so, unless Pakistani nukes go free range earlier.

Here is the exact same error made by the overpopulation scientists: predict the future by assuming the present curve won't change.

40 years ago scientists determined population would increase out of control, and today some set has determined it will decrease out of control.

If this were true the last 1,000 years would consist of females basically farming fertile males for their sperm. Sex would be too inefficient. Scary.

Well, we were warned 40 years ago, weren't we?
